Spray Coating
Environmentally friendly, custom-engineered spray coating formulations that deliver fast, even coverage.
With RDC Coatings’ sustainable, customized spray coating solutions, your operation will improve its process efficiency and environmental footprint.
Spray coating is a versatile and widely used method for applying coatings to a variety of products and materials, including complex shapes and large surfaces. The process involves atomizing a liquid coating material and spraying it onto the surface of the substrate with a spray gun or similar equipment.
When combined with water-based and energy-cured coatings — such as the ones RDC Coatings formulates for ultraviolet (UV), Excimer UV, and electron beam (EB) curing processes — spray coating generates enhanced efficiency and high-quality finishes. This makes it ideal for operations in the hardwood plywood, flooring, millwork, plastic, and vinyl industries.
Whether your operation is spray coating wood, vinyl, metal, plastic, or a specialty substrate, RDC can custom engineer a premium coating solution that enhances your operation. Your coating product will allow for hand or automatic spray and enable immediate stacking or assembly. It also delivers superior clarity, durability, hardness, and scratch resistance with a soft feel, and complies with California Air Resource Board (CARB) standards.
Benefits of your RDC Coatings’ spray coating formulations.
Spray coating — combined with RDC Coatings’ energy cured formulations — is an efficient and effective solution for achieving durable, high-quality finishes. Your coating will be engineered to the specifications of your manufacturing process, application and curing systems, environment, and product.
Thinking of changing your existing spray coating formula? Looking to develop new or expanded spray coating options for your customers? Planning the construction of a new manufacturing line? Leverage RDC’s customer-focused expertise for guidance. Services include on-site process audits that evaluate your coating line and finished products. Those findings help RDC’s engineers create your custom spray coating, then verify its performance across state-of-the-art testing labs. Additionally, RDC offers technical support and process management services.
The viscosity of RDC Coatings’ engineered spray coatings is calibrated to improve your application equipment’s output. For a more uniform surface, each coating’s rheology is tailored to your spraying machinery. Further, your spray coating solution is provided ready to spray in a single container sized to optimize your processes’ throughput and productivity.
Your ultraviolet (UV), Excimer UV, electron beam (EB), or water-based coatings from RDC will deliver fast curing, even surfaces in less time. Already using a UV curing process? RDC’s UV spray coatings are designed to perform consistently, whether the UV bulbs are brand new, or are generating variable dosages as they age. RDC’s chemistry ensures better lot-to-lot consistency.
RDC Coatings knows that very few industrial operations have climate controls. Your spray coating will therefore be customized for uniform, consistent performance amid changing temperatures and humidities — from high to low — throughout the year.
Whatever you’re spray coating on your products, every RDC finish will match your specific parameters — including complex shapes and large surface areas. Formulations for chemical resistance, durability against scratches, marks, scuffs and abrasions, enhanced weatherability, a wide range of gloss, improved adhesion, and more can be developed to meet your unique requirements.
